Hello!
I am setting up a command block to give a book to players when they enter the server. So setup a command block to test for it.
/testfor @p[r=10] {Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:written_book",tag:{title:"Community Agreements"]}}]}
I keep getting the following error:
[03:50:37] q2u did not match the required data structure
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The book itself works ok. here is the command for it:

I know this is an older thread but there is a much better solution for this. See, the problem is that you're more or less assuming that players will have this book in their inventory at all times, which doesn't have to be the case. So if they store the book somewhere, then log off and back on again the system would automatically give them the book again. Something I'd consider highly annoying!
Solution: use the scoreboard. In specific: use tags. Whenever a player gets the starting book tag them with the "gotbook" tag. This way all you have to do is check for that tag to be present.
So... Start with a command block which contains: /give @p[tag=!gotbook] minecraft:written_book 1 0 {}.
This makes sure that a player which doesn't have the gotbook tag will get the book.
Now, place a conditional chain commandblock behind it which contains: /scoreboard players tag @p[tag=!gotbook] add gotbook.
This makes sure that the tag gets added to the player.
As a result all players will get one book no matter what.

Hello,
Yes Iwe are running 1.12.2. I fixed the bracket issue.
With inventory: shouldn't this command return true if it anywhere in the inventory?
I agree Scoreboard and Tags are way powerful feature. I am glad they are making them easier to use in 1.13.

Yes the command will return true when the book is placed anywhere in the inventory, but you must also be within a 10 block radius from the command block or it will fail. If you don't want this and want it to work no matter where you are, you'll have to remove the [r=10] which should result in the following command:
/testfor @p {Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:written_book",tag:{title:"Community Agreements"}}]}

/testfor @p {Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:written_book",tag:{title:"Community Agreements"}}]}

Due to the commands you are using, I'm going to assume you are using 1.12.2. If this isn't the case, just let me know and I will adjust my answer for the appropriate version.
When using your testfor command, I don't receive the same error. This is because you have an extra "]". Here is the fixed command: /testfor @p[r=10] {Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:written_book",tag:{title:"Community Agreements"}}]}
That command will work if the player is both holding the book, and is within a radius of 10 from the executor(In your case, the command block). If this isn't the case, you will get the error you mentioned in your post:
[03:50:37] q2u did not match the required data structure
If you are still getting this error while you are next to the command block and holding the book, make sure that it's turned on and is actually running the command.
Also your book command seems to have nothing on page 2, Is this Intentional?
Now with all of that said, may I recommend looking into tags?(Note: This link is for 1.13. If you want a command for 1.12, add the following right before tag: "scoreboard players ") There isn't really anything that /testfor can do that tags can't. In fact, I'd argue that tags can do more. Something else to note is that /testfor is going to be removed in 1.13 whereas tags are simply having their syntax changed.
I hope this info helps you. If you need help with anything else, Let me know. :)
